On the day of the Apocalypse, in addition to erasing traces of humankind on the surface of the earth, it also left nearly a thousand nuclear explosion craters of varying sizes around the world.
Because in order to keep secrets, a considerable number of phased array nuclear explosion devices were buried deep underground or semi-buried. Therefore, when they exploded, they often left a diameter of several hundred meters or several kilometers on the surface.
Huge pothole.
During the era of big storms, these nuclear explosion craters were filled with dust from continuous storms. What was even more deadly was that at that time, satellite images could not be taken due to the interference of big storms and dust clouds.
Surface footage, so no one knows the exact size of those nuclear explosion craters at that time.
People only know that after so many years of blowing, those nuclear craters must be the deadliest quicksand areas in the world, and their size is so deadly that it is certain that anything that accidentally enters that area will be dead.
Coincidentally, there is a nuclear explosion crater right in the middle of the road between the Davis Mountain Refuge and Tucson. No one knows how big the crater is now, and no one knows the exact location of the crater. They are in
After the Apocalypse, through the information provided by Shelter Zero, I learned that there was such a detonation point near me.
It can only be said that the foundation of Davis Mountain Shelter is good. It is located on the rock formation and is almost untouched.
But now, the nuclear explosion crater has become an additional issue that the Saints need to consider. Should they take a risky detour, or?
As the generation born before the Apocalypse, Thor and Panan were already "big children" at that time. Although they were wanderers, they still had memories of the past world.
But now, when the armored bus drove out of the underground hangar, the true appearance of the world still made the two young people feel suffocated.
The howling storm almost instantly broke through the armored bus's supposedly strong sealing strips, accurately transmitting its anger to everyone in the car.
The Saint silently took out the noise-canceling headphones and handed them to the other people in the car. They did not have the ability to create anti-shielding coatings. The Davis Mountain Shelter was ultimately just an unofficial shelter born out of Tangji's favor.
.
But the Adecados are all qualified mechanical technicians. They have long been accustomed to a life away from high technology and focusing on the mechanical essence, so they removed almost all the electronic components on the armored bus and turned the vehicle into a pure
Mechanically driven.
The hurricane entered the car from almost every corner, but fortunately this was not the first time they tested the car outside. The Saints could always follow the sound of the wind to find those air leakage points, and then use some kind of rapid reaction to condense them.
A variant of glue seals those almost invisible gaps.
Brian did not drive away impulsively at this time. After the most painful five minutes passed, the wind noise in the car dropped to less than 80 decibels, and most of the noise came from the high-speed friction of the air against the surface of the car body.
Then the driver was the first to take off his earmuffs, and then motioned to the two young people to do the same: "Saul, go and look at the earmuffs and look at the surroundings! Pay attention to the color of the wind! I taught you!"
"Got it!" Saul turned around and climbed over the oil drums filled with diesel to gain weight, and entered the observation position at the rear of the vehicle. It was a hemispherical bulletproof glass shield, which had the best view of the entire bus.
location.
"Panam, go check the anemometer and tell me if the wind level exceeds level 17." Brian continued to give orders. He was the one who really controlled the overall situation in the car. "Saint, please pay attention to the engine temperature.
"
"God will bless us with a safe journey, let's go." The saint nodded. In the thirteenth year of the New Hope Era, his faith did not fade because of the Apocalypse Day, but instead became more pious because of it.
It's just that the God he believes in now looks more and more like Tangji in image. So when the saint says God bless us, he says it in a declarative sentence, not an imperative sentence.
On the first day, they drove eight kilometers north, which took four hours, without encountering any danger. The temporarily modified armored bus relied on thickening the chassis, lowering the suspension, increasing the windshield, and installing auxiliary wheels.
, withstood the danger of rolling over in a big storm.
After returning to the shelter, the mechanics of the entire Adecado tribe began to be busy. They wanted to dismantle the entire vehicle and inspect it from the inside out to see which parts contained hidden dangers.
The most arduous task was the welding process. The aerodynamic shape of the entire car had many openings and welds. They had to use the level of aircraft manufacturing to shape the shape of the car.
Coincidentally, on the same day, Anthony also embarked on a journey with his team, but their goal was more clear. At least there were no nuclear explosion craters in Night City, so they did not have to worry about death traps.
And compared to the armored bus hand-forged by the Adecans, the Beamon armored transport vehicle is also more professional.
Although the track running mechanism of this monster has not been replaced yet, its huge off-road tires are enough to travel in the city.
The roads that once existed no longer exist, and there are only insignificant ruins in the city. Behemoth is the creation that best demonstrates human power. When it roars through the big storm, those who cling to safety in the ruins
Travelers who travel hard through the rope will always stop their tired footsteps and cheer without emotion.
Because the giant machinery reminded them of the past glory of their civilization, and also made them full of confidence in the future.
But for Anthony and the others, this journey was not so smooth. The route they chose was accurate. However, the small neon district that once existed after the Apocalypse had far less debris left in this area due to its wooden structure building tradition.
in other areas.
They couldn't identify the location circled on the satellite image with the naked eye, so they could only rely on luck to find it bit by bit. Fortunately, Anthony had a wide network of contacts and could control the variable represented by luck.
Therefore, in addition to working overtime in his dreams every day, Mr. Good Luck Carl Wile has to open the door for Annie to go to Tangina to cause trouble. He also has to pray devoutly every day, hoping that Anthony can find what he wants soon.
It turns out that Carl Wilo is quite good at this kind of probability. Anthony wasted nine days in the ruins, and finally dug up the fragments with the LOGO of the modification factory with a shovel.
At this time, in the Davis Mountain Shelter, the Saints and the others had completed their second trip. This time they ran a full nineteen kilometers.
